For decades, a skilled, hardworking employee had little to worry about. Even in hard times, they could switch firms and find new roles. Recent university graduates might struggle at the start, and ageism might rear its ugly head for older applicants, but the notion that substantial numbers of workers might be unemployable was not something that a wide range of executives ever worried about. But HR experts, recruitment consultants, and career professionals point to changes in the job market for some people: they can’t find a role, even in a relatively robust job market. For the last two years, the sidelines of the job market have been filled with competent and trained workers who are perfectly employable—people who have excelled in fields from marketing to finance to data analysis. They’re the reason experts say they’re seeing a growing frenzy to find work. The situation has become so acute that half of people report they are completely burned out by the job-hiring process. In most cases, this new group of unemployables are only just coming to grips with reality. #recruitment #jobhuntng #unemployable #skills
